In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 497

When she saw me, Emery chuckled and gave me one of the bags of pastries. “You’re always dressed so frumpily. We’re out to shop and have fun, all the more we should dress up and look pretty. With your looks, everyone’s jaws would drop when they see you.”

I smiled faintly. “I don’t want to attract any unnecessary attention.” It was true. Nancy had gotten unwanted attention a few times because of that. I would definitely stand out more if I cleaned myself up, but that was the last thing I needed.

Emery nodded in agreement and didn’t probe further.

The mall was bustling with activity. However, I had gotten used to being alone, that the crowd and noise stressed me out, so I didn’t like it at all.

Emery, on the other hand, was an extrovert. She made sure to browse each jewelry store we came to. Whenever she bought something she liked, she’d be like a kid in a candy store.

Like Macy, she’d get so incredibly excited whenever she got to eat delicious foods or buy her favorite things.

People said that only those with similar personalities could become friends. But Macy and I had known each other since childhood, so we still bonded despite our different personalities.

What I did find weird, though, was how Emery and I became friends.

When she saw that I was in a daze, Emery elbowed me and asked, “Is it so hard for you to pick a necklace? What are you thinking about?”

I looked at the two necklaces in her hand and remarked, “Both of them look good. Just get both.”

“Damn, Scarlett. This is the first time you’re behaving like a rich woman. I’ve always thought you were so timid and precious. Ashton got you the clothes and accessories you have on you now, didn’t he?”

I nodded. “Ashton gets Joseph to buy me new clothes every season. I rarely shop, and I don’t understand much about fashion. So, I wear whatever I have at home.”

Hearing that, she gave me a thumbs-up as she curled her lips. “Spoken like a rich woman. Ashton has really spoiled you. But as a woman who doesn’t like shopping or eating, what do you do in your free time?”

“I read at home!’ I exclaimed. And that was the truth. When I stayed with Macy, I spent weekends going out to eat with her. This all changed when she left because I had no other friends to hang out with during the weekends.
